Cartridge Emulator

This card emulates a cartridge port, similar to what a C4CPC would do, and enables the execution of 256 KB or 512 KB images.

Compatibility

• Amstrad Plus: all available GX4000 cartridge games.
• Amstrad CPC: games converted to CPR format for the GX4000.

You can find, for example, versions of games like Alcon 2020, Barbarian 2, Chase HQ, Dragon Ninja, Robocop, Turrican 1 and 2, etc., each sourced from GX4000 conversions with integrated trainers, screen page + optimized loading, and support for J1 and J2 buttons.

User Interface

This card is part of the Amsteam online service.

When you launch the interface with the RSX |AMSTEAM, you arrive at a menu that offers you:

• GAME BROWSER: to access the list of available games.
• CARTRIDGE BROWSER: to access the list of all official GX4000 cartridge games + games converted to CPR format and optimized for the controller and J1/J2 buttons.
• TELNET SERVICES: to access a list of connections to Telnet servers and BBS

So for cartridge games, it’s exactly the same interface as for standard games.

You navigate with the arrows + ENTER, or the joystick + FIRE, to confirm your selection.

So no SD storage. Within a few seconds, the cartridge game runs directly by loading into memory via Wi-Fi.
